Hello there... Early evening. My little buddy, Felix The Fox, waking up after a nice siesta. He was giving me his best Clint Eastwood impression, with his 'squinting eyes'. "Go ahead, make my day". Very handsome!!

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Autistic liberation isn’t about being palatable.
It’s about refusing to contort ourselves into shapes that make everyone else’s life easier while destroying our own.

Ok palate cleanse time. In case you missed it, here's my most popular post ever
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga
